Try comparing your Bushwacker with this one:

Is it possible that your serial number is "CE 01 061"? In which case it is a Canadian market from 1985. IMHO, your bike appears to be a mid or late 1980s. I think Nishiki's first MTBs were made in 1983.
If 1985 I think it should have bullmoose bars, as you stated in a later post.
